>>5937664Mustering up some confidence to shake off any lingering worries, you stride towards the hotel's front desk. Or side desk, based on the floor plan. Anyhow, it seems like she noticed you and out down the book she's reading.
"Two rooms, next to each other if possible. By the way, have you seen a goblin kid around the hotel?"
The clown girl slowly and nonchalantly grabs two room keys next to each other, and hands them to you while simultaneously pointing towards the common area.
"Dunno ma'am, my shift just started like, five minutes ago. Haven't seen any kids, goblin or otherwise. Try asking the other patrons, maybe? Like, those two have been here for a while."
You look to the direction her fingers are pointing, and you see the gator and the Tmavy Les near the window.
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it. Good luck looking for your kid, ma'am."
Wait, did she think you're Craig's mother? You're not -that- old! C'mon, an auntie, at least.
Anyways, you find yourself walking towards the two fellows, whose discussion has hit a lull when they spot you.
"Excuse me, gentlemen - have you seen a goblin boy around here? About yea high, wears a hat, has a slightly curled bang that covers his eyes?"
The gator man nods, as the boogieman just stares at you and Nemo.
"Maybe I did saw him earlier - say, he got bangs, huh? Reminds me of that succubus girl at the burlesque theatre. Say, does he have succubus ancestry or what? Reckon he could charm any schoolmarm if he does! Speaking of which, kiddo should be in school - which is something this town sorely needs..."
Oh no, this gator's the kind of guy that will lead his topic all over the place, and won't stop talking because he loves talking so much. You contemplate trying to squeeze a con between his long monologue, but what exactly would you con him for?
>CHOOSE ONE>□ Info. By the rate he's talking, there's bound to be interesting information - if only you could steer the conversation that way.>□ Money. Can't go wrong with lining your pocket, Nemo can't just magically pull money out of thin air - even if he is supposedly loaded.>□ Favor. Guy looks like he's a lumberjack, and gators are notoriously tough. Having him ready to help with physical things would be a boon, even if it's only in Pinewatch.>□ Other (fill in)
